Synopsis
'I was going to sea myself; in a schooner with pigtailed singing seamen...to seek for buried treasures!'
When a rum-soaked old buccaneer expires at the Admiral Benbow Inn, young Jim Hawkins finds on him the key to Captains Flint's chest. Concealed in the chest is a treasure-map sought by Flint's confederates, including the sinister blind Pew, but Jim manages to outwit them all and secure the map for himself. So begins his seafaring adventure, but mutiny, piracy and bloodshed are to beset Jim and his fellow travellers before the treasure can be found...
Stevenson's tale of high adventure and suspense has captured the imagination of the public since its first publication. With its unforgettable characters and its compelling narrative it continues to enthral generations of readers of all ages.

Review
Climb aboard for the swashbuckling adventure of a lifetime. Treasure Islandhas enthralled (and caused slight seasickness) for decades. The names Long John Silver and Jim Hawkins are destined to remain pieces of folklore for as long as children want to read Robert Louis Stevenson's most famous book. With it's dastardly plot and motley crew of rogues and villains, it seems unlikely that children will ever say no to this timeless classic. --Naomi Gesinger
